Baked Green Bean Fries are breaded in Parmesan and cooked until crispy. Dunk them in a Balsamic Yogurt Dip or eat them hot out of the oven. Either way, you’ll satisfy your need to crunch with this low-carb, gluten-free recipe.
Baked Parmesan Green Bean Fries are the newest rage at our house. They’re an alternative to Carrot Fries only this time cheese is involved!
While I would be hard-pressed to find anyone at our house happily munching on a cooked green bean as a snack, these “fries” are transformed into finger food. Put them out as an appetizer and you’re sure to make low-carb and keto dieters very, very happy.
Or shake things up at dinner. How about some fries with your turkey? Or your latest chicken dinner?
Luckily, this recipe is EASY to make and the beans cook very quickly!
How to Make Baked Green Bean Fries
Wash and trim the beans. Snap off the ends, nip them with cooking shears or cut them with a knife. It really doesn’t matter how you do it. Get rid of the strings and hard ends. Make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel before moving on to the breading step.
Coat the beans with olive oil and then toss them in a mixture of finely grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and paprika. The “breading” is very similar to the coating used on Broiled Scallops with a Parmesan Crust. Keep a bag of the breading mixture in the refrigerator or freezer and these are just minutes to make.
Bake the fries in a hot oven (425 degrees F) until crispy and starting to brown. Turn the oven to broil for the last few minutes to make them even crispier. That’s it!
How to Make Balsamic Yogurt Dip
A dip really isn’t necessary. The beans are so tasty hot from the oven. But, this dip is a cool and tangy contrast to the hot bean fries and dips always seem to up the fun factor.
This dip has just 3 ingredients: Greek yogurt, balsamic vinegar and garlic powder. Make sure to blend the mixture thoroughly so that the balsamic vinegar is fully incorporated into the yogurt. We used an electric mixer for the job.
Drizzle the dipping sauce over the beans for a fancy, schmancy presentation and pass a big plate of fries to the smiles of your guests.
We hope you enjoy this recipe! Tag @DinnerMom or #DinnerMom on social media if you make it! We’d love to see what you are cooking up.

Oh man these are awesome! Loving the greek yogurt dip too!
I’m so glad you like them!
Delish! I made these a little differently because I was out of some ingredients: I used onion powder instead of garlic powder, instead of greek yogurt I used regular plain yogurt with a swirl of olive oil added to it, and replaced normal balsamic vinegar (red) with white peach balsamic vinegar. I also added cayenne powder to the breading. Finally, it was too hot in the summer to use the oven so I broiled the beans. My only reservation is that these fries get cold quickly so they need to be plated and served right away. My family enjoyed them.
They sound fanstastic! I’m so glad you enjoyed them!
